Playing Video on 2016 Nav

[yeahchap]

Hi All,

I've had my 2016 CT200h Sport just a few weeks and am so happy to make the change from a dirty diesel C Class.

As others may have realised, the manuals (especially the Nav) are pretty hopeless.  Mine has the Nav with the Rotation control, not the slidey joystick.

According to the manual, its possible to play video files on the screen off the USB, the USB does search for video files when selected but I cannot for the life of me figure out the resolution or format to make them play.  I'm pretty tech-savvy but the lack of guidance in the manual has got me foxxed on this one.

I'm wondering if any of you knowledgeable and highly intelligent bunch can figure out this feature?  Anyone up to the challenge? :)

Chris

Have you tried with the vehicle's handbrake on? Alot of vehicles/entertainment system will only work with the handbrake on unless you bypass it.

Just tried it and no difference...Curious if anyone has ever seen it work

Itll be an issue with the format of either the USB or the video files themselves.

ill give it try a by using Fat32 and go with an MKV, AVI, MP4 and WMV..... one of those is bound to work.

FAT32 is a must, Lexus wont play any other format. Im unsure on the format of the actual file though but yeah, give it a go and see if any of them work .

With a Bit of trial and error ,i got it working!

Needs to be Fat32 and File has to be MP4 (manual says otherwise but im not surprised!).The handbrake has to be on or you just get the sound.

Then once its playing it appears in a window so u have to select full screen.

Silly question but can you just put a DVD into the CD slot and it will play that way too?

Yes you can 

[yeahchap]

To save me burning one, do you think it will play mp3's off a DVD disc then?

Not sure as I used a pre recorded DVD
